Talbot Hotel  

Love the quirkiness and 400 year old ambience of the place.

The room was cold but staff quickly found a heater for us and that solved the problem.

the bar staff / waiters were very attentive .

the hotel has a major problem with ferrol pigeons nesting and making a mess everywhere .the breakfast area was very small .

Very old, dirty and noisey place,

location and staff.

room could have done with a coat of paint.looked like it had had some leaks by the looks of the damp patches.i asked for the tv to be changed as it was old and made a buzzing sound. i only wanted it for the news and weather in mornings but it was very irritating.and it wasn't changed.

central

cold plates lumpy bed scruffy furniture

Our room was large, clean, had everything we needed

Not having somewhere to hang towels in the bathroom is really the only thing missing

The Staff were Excellent. Breakfast was Excellent.

There was a bit of noise from the street outside, but we are used to this at home so it did not disturb us.

done the job of being near to where we wanted to be beds were clean ..

tv wasent good dident work properly....not all lights worked

We liked the hotel building

The stairs. Windows need attention

Its quirkyness - very old and creaky! Lots of levels - friendly owner/manager. Full of history and character

Breakfasts were made early and kept hot under a heat lamp so poached egg went hard and mushrooms got a bit wrinkly! Shower not working very well but hey! it's very old!

Fantastic old building in the heart of the town

Bed uncomfortable, old TV with only 3 working channels, glass panel above the door let in light from the corridor rendering sleep impossible, no Wi Fi in bedroom (despite claims there was) and the cooked breakfast wasn't worth getting out of bed for (the continental selection however was very good).

Onsite parking - bit busy but found a space , was very useful as parked earlier and looked about before checking in at 2pm. Staff gave us a parking permit. Bedroom (19) was a lovely feature room with wooden bed and furniture. Had a nice panel out of the wall feature which showed its age/ date of the building which was a nice touch. Comfortable bed, clean. Basic but adequate tea/ coffee facilities in room. Breakfast was self service and an ok range of juice, fruit etc. even apple pies?! Full english as part of room stay was ok.

On arrival noone at the Reception desk. Had to use phone to call which ended up being a member of staff in the bar. Seemed unattended most of the stay. Bathroom extractor fan didn't work. Tv was very dated and not perfect picture (but didn't watch it much). Quite a nosiy room (from outside - party revellers, PO alarm going off twice in the night). During check in, we were not told about any dining options at the Hotel. We saw adertisements for Thai night, but didn't see any evidence of where to go to eat? Ended up eating out. English breakfast was ok, but no black pudding as adertised, and I was looking forward to. Egg overdone. Staff not that friendly.

the building was charming

no heating, wc not working, food not good,

The age and atmosphere of the room/building. Bar/waiting staff (one young male ) very pleasant

tv would not work. Room very cold for some hours. Manager ok but not overly helpful - he knew about these problems previously but has done nothing about them - expecially the TV Is a pity with not too much effort this could be an hotel to recommend

We loved the hotels quirky features with its 14th century staircase.all staff friendly.breakfst great loads of choice even got a little Easter egg.parking to rear. Well worth a trip. Good location to visit sadlers real ale tour.

Lots of character

Freezing cold. Tiny bathroom with loo right against wall and towel rail, good job it wasn't in on as would have been burnt.

Breakfast was good.

Bedroom was cold only had an electric heater. Bed was uncomfortable.

we had a feature room which was very traditional and very comfortable, really friendly and helpful staff too.

was loud banging from lower floor at 1:30am which ruined a relaying stay

Friendly staff

poor maintenance

Staff are great and good breakfast. the bar is good with good food.

Its so cold in the rooms!!!!!!!!!

Room 9 was very nice, big and airy and full of character.

Room 10 was small and needed some redecoration. Patches on the walls which I imagine were once damp but were dry on our visit.

location and car parking in convenient point for activities near stourbridge age interesting old features giving character

somewhat tired with minor faults

Comfort, attitude of Staff and helpfulness, location and room/food, all very good and a credit to the hotel.

Limited car parking at rear when hotel is full.

location bar staff friendly

no help when my tv didnt work Breakfast was awful Ive had thicker sandwiches than the pillows that were there.

Just about everything! My colleague came off worse, his room had mould growing in his room. When he showed a photo of this to the manager he was told "i've been away for a week, I'll get maintainence to look into it"
